WASHINGTON - The White House said on Monday it was up to the Justice Department to decide whether detailed findings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation will be released, a day after the top US law enforcement official said US President Donald Trump had been cleared of any conspiracy with Moscow.
Democrats have called for Mueller's complete findings to be released to Congress and the public and vowed to call Barr to appear before lawmakers to answer questions. The Mueller investigation had cast a cloud over the Republican Trump's presidency but he has declared himself fully exonerated. "As a lawyer, you don't waive privileges and you don't waive investigative detail absent either a court order or an agreement between the parties," Sekulow told CNN, adding that Barr would make the final decision.
US Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairmen of two key House of Representatives committees, cited in a statement late on Sunday"the very public evidence of Trump campaign contact with and willingness to receive support from Russian agents." They said it was vital for Congress and the public to evaluate the full body of evidence collected by Mueller.
Several Trump advisers and associates also were among the 34 people charged in Mueller's investigation including his former national security adviser and personal lawyer. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in a conference call with reporters, called on Washington to make the first move to reset the relationship and repeated Moscow's denial of any interference in US elections and internal affairs.
